User Reviews for Tramadol

It really helpwith the pain but I experienced sleepness

i have been on this drug for about 2 years on and off due to pregnancy. i love the med it makes all the arthritis that i have disappear for a little while but if taken with an anti-inflammatory once daily its been a god send

this was my only choice left when I broke my ribs, most pain meds make me vomit even when taken with food. I didn't seem to have the dizziness or tiredness that other drugs had caused(ie. vicoden,darvaset,codine) and it did an okay job at relieving my pain. Broken ribs are almost impossible to make completly painless anyways.

This is the worst pain medicine out there in my opinion, it gave me really bad headaches, dizziness, nausea and it made me extremely drowsy

Ihave taken it for about three-four months after runnin through a electrial pole for wip lash and headache's.I have to take about 2-3 every 6 hrs.It sucks.

4 years ago I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Tramadol has been a miracle drug for helping manage my joint pain. I only need 2 to 4 pills daily.

OMG!!! I am a chef on my feet12-14 hours a day with bad knees, my doctor gave me this and the first pill i took i was running around the kitchen working faster than ever before. I have never done illegal drugs but i bet this is what meth users feel like. I quit taking it!!

I think it is Great

this stuff is a joke all it does is make me sweat and keeps me awake. i want my vicodine back at least it works

My husband took this medicine and it worked well but every month he needed more, doubling every month. Since it is not controlled substance doctors will let you have a ton of it. My husband got to the point where he was filling RX every 9 days, and it is cheap so I had no idea how much he was taking, but I noticed that his behavior and personality changed. I started paying attention to dates on RX bottles and following claims in insurance website as well as walmart and other drug store websites that will give info. When confronted about abuse of meds he lied and was in denial and it got worse he started a drug seeking behavior and I found him getting narcotic RX from doctor, and then found med that he would not tell where they came from, I sent him to our PCP for intervention and possibly to be addmitted to rehab and packed his bags to move out until he got it under control. He did not have to be admitted and did go through withdrawls but did detox and today he is fine and will never take this medicine again. It took 3 months to become a serious problem and our doctor did not think this medicine caused such a problem, until I told him to read these reviews where other experienced same as what our family went through. It should at least be monitored.Read More Read Less

I am 16 and I started using it because my back surgon said it was really good and non habbit forming for my degenerative disc disease and multipul herniated discs. To tell you the truth I couldnt tell the difference in pain when i took it and when i didnt. I was left in horrible pain. this is not the drug for me.

I was started on Tramadol 50mg about 6 months ago for arthritis pain/fibrobyalgia pain. I have to say that I have found it to be extremely effective. As one of my symptoms if fatigue, Tramadol helps by giving me a burst of energy and a sense of well-being besides relieving me of my pain. I could not tolerate the antidepressant therapies tried, so Tramadol is all I take. I usually can get by with just 1 a day, but can increase to 2 a day if needed. I have not experienced any of the bad effects I read in this forum. One thing to always remember when reading these reviews.....each person is different with different problems. What works for one person, doesn't always help another. For me, this works! No drug therapy is perfect. There are always going to be risks involved with ANY medication.You and your physician have to decide if the benefits outweigh any of the risks associated with a particular medication.

Have been on this med for 10 months and tryed to up the dose from 100mg to 200mg and I thought I was going to pass out, I have been taking it for back pain and it doesn't work anymore, so now I am taking hydroco/apap 5-500mg and fentanyl 25mg patch and I will be taking 50mg of tramadol to ease of this med. and I feel it is habit forming, and it will stop working after awhile. And it has made me really loopy or the feeling of being drunk (about 10 drinks).And it's kind of scary to go off this med. because u just can't stop taking it.And it also keeps me up at night. So I have tryed it and it isn't the best drug out there.And I also have been gettting headaches from downing the dose. To all out there be careful with this drug.Read More Read Less

good and bad experience. Keeps me awake and I only take one 50mg. tablet. I does give me a sense of well being and does not bother me too much to stay awake since I feel so much better pain wise and emotionally. The dr. said I could take 1 or 2 tablets twice daily but that would be too much for me. I take this for arthritis and was given it because dr. said my blood workup was abnormal for I think kidney and liver so said to take one baby aspirin, but told him that would not help me so he prescribed this medication for me to take.Read More Read Less

Extreme nausea to the point that I had to stay in bed for a whole day.

WHEN WAKE UP IN AM-- HAVE TINGLING DOWN LEG----CANT LAY LONG ON BACK----ONE IN AM AND MAYBE TWO OR THREE MORE DURING COURSE OF DAY SEEM TO HELP

Great med works just great 100% ....

DONT WORK NEED OXYS

Helps with the chronic pain in my right leg after muscle death, but it is severely addicting. The very thought of going through the withdrawals can make you break out into a sweat.

it certaionly helps pain but I take with other medications as directed by g.p. panadeine forte.....panadeine osteo
